This analysis of the situation by author Vanessa Beeley might very well be correct :

Sorry, it says Andrew Korybko further down. So I guess he is the one who wrote the piece and not Vanessa Beeley.
” Therefore, the outcome of the Dash for Deir az-Zor will depend on the speed with which the SAA can reach their destination, the tactical maneuvers that the SDF-YPG take to beat them there from the northern direction, and the degree to which the US will be successful in using HIMARS to tip the balance in its favor from the southern front. The odds are overwhelming, but it still can’t be ruled out that the SAA will ultimately prevail against this pincer strategy, liberate the desert city, and drive a stake in the heart of the US’ attempts to set up two “geopolitical ‘Israels’” in the heart of the Mideast, though the prospects of this optimistic scenario playing out are admittedly low. “

Not seen any pictures of Free Syrians, only US forces mounted in a armored cars spearhead preparing the ground for more deployments under HIMAAT cover. Its pure and simply the US Army in continuation war to replace ISIS. A full invasion of Syria is on the works from Jordan, were concentration of forces would be crossing the border into Syria pritty soon. Basically, the US is advancing forces to test Russian reaction, salami technic. The most practical answer it is to point to Israel with equivalent devices or if possible, place nuclear devices in the hands of Syrians. as if Israel has nuclear weapons, so Syria could do it.. Every day the US its becoming closer to WWIII, a clue to it it is the fact that Donald has transfered the Command-in-Chieff authority into a Pentagon full of alike anabolic confident McMasters that think that can neutralize a Russian ICBM reply if the US goes further to subdue Russia into the NWO.

who in the chain of command calls the shots? … as they are setting us all up for WW3 we deserve to know who hides under the broad sweeping “US”, the US is a nation, it is men who are commanding this catastrophe, at least the men on the ground deserve to know which crazies are in command whose names will be held to account…..Crimson Tide comes to mind…get it in writing

The announcer says it very clearly right at the beginning of the video, that those weapons came in from Jordan – a country we hear very little of.

Ideally speaking, Jordan ought to stay neutral in the conflict. Allowing enemy weapons to pass through makes Jordan less than neutral.

Why ought Jordan to stay neutral? Simply to prevent the war from spreading.

maybe….just maybe….now bear with me on this…..maybe the US is positioning itself around Israel?…..I know I know, it’s a dumb suggestion, but who knows these days….black is white where the US is concerned in the Middle East….just give it a thought eh,,,,or they’re lining up the biggest FF in history and launch one from Syria to Tel Aviv so Bibi can throw his toys out of the pram and the battle can commence…..

Nice wish PH… the psychos are nesting on top. They love the gold and the advancement. They also have the lead over their heads in the form of self compromises.. you know the score.

Amelius June 17, 2017 at 11:32 am

Why will my response to Khalid Talaat not register? There is no swear words, or anything inappropriate

Amelius June 17, 2017 at 11:04 am

Luckily for the rest of the world, Russian strategists are way, WAY smarter than US strategists and history provides evidence that suggests the Russian military is much more effective than the American military. Not to mention, the US is once again on the wrong side of yet another war. I just hope justice prevails and those responsible for the last two decades of chaos pay with their lives.

Khalid Talaat June 17, 2017 at 4:45 pm

Amelius… My hope is ypur hope but these people have been responsible for every war since the English revolution. Dr. Preston James has a reference to a youtube video of a man by the name of “Roland Bernard”. If you have not, I suggest you might get a good glimpse at how things look from the very top. If you search youtube for the name it should bring it right up. Cheers.

Wow, that sounds like the real nwo

Khalid Talaat June 17, 2017 at 10:05 am

Maybe Syria will do the unthinkable. Then we will have WW3. Let us be careful what we wish for. The minute we have US casualties the math will change.

Paedo hunter June 17, 2017 at 1:33 pm

I hope it’s not the common core math they’ve been teaching in US schools that you reference…..if so, 2+2 will equal 3.22…..posted from my safe space

Mattis is Baghdai’s replacement. Syria needs to address this US provication with full Russian support. Regardless, if they don’t the US will certainly use these.missles. Exceptionalism you know. So the price of poker just went up. Sad story but ExxonMobil is not going to roll over.

“Mattis is Baghdai’s replacement”. Thanks for giving me a good chuckle. I wish I had thought to say this. It could be true.

Cold Wind June 16, 2017 at 1:48 pm

Russian criticism of US moves have become tiresome–at best. Clearly, the US has included in its calculus of deployments the reality of a deep seated Russian reluctance to get more involved in the conflict. They judge Russia has already conceded defeat with the new projected US backed Kurdistan, and will not, beyond the usual whimpering and whining, offer any serious oppositions to the latest US deployments near al Tanf. In truth, Russia has lost the initiative and will not likely get it back–short of striking the recent deployments of US heavy artillery and missiles near al Tanf.

I agree with Cold Wind. Closing the bard door after the horse is out has little value other than preventing the horse from re entering the barn later.
Russia and Syria had a short window of time to arm the border where the US now the trespasser. They did not avail themselves of that opportunity. The US is acting totally illegally without any permission, so it is the aggressor. But obviously Russia is now reluctant to begin to destroy all their missile launchers because that would likely start WWIII. Russia is now a paper tiger and the U.S. assumes they can bully their way into Syria without resistance. This is a shame but a fact. This is a lost opportunity for Syria and Russia. Putin may have his own political problems at home which dictate such a decision. After all they have poured enormous resources into Syria already. I think they should have involved Iran more in this failed effort. This is a long range failure which will be very costly in the end if not reversed.

kaho June 16, 2017 at 7:35 pm

In that case it will have been an easy victory for the United States. And now Russia sulks off like a dog with its tail between its legs. Maybe
Or are there still some unoccupied slots on the chessboard?
It seems to me that the rule accepted by both parties is that the US can target the SSA, and no one will shoot back. But they cannot target the Russians, because then they might shoot back.
And by the same token the Russians cannot target Americans. But the Russians can target proxies who attack the SAA. So these are what the rules seem to be. But it gets to be more complicated, since there are more parties in the game than the four just mentioned, and some of them are very independent. Jordan, for example, plays an important role in that corner of Syria.
